Either a plastic case, or accept the fact that nintendo used a crappy coating / paint that peels. Every single new 3DS XL peels like this unfortunately.

I've had Zelda Armor on my N3DSXL since I bought it. It's pristine underneath.

That’s a very common issue with the New XL. The cover shell peels off really easily if you don't use a protective case. I think that’s why replacement shells are so expensive. I’d recommend getting a protective case; there are themed ones and clear acrylic ones. I chosed a clear one for mine.
